3.4 Connecting the ida FS 250 to the Printer

CAUTION:

All connections to theida FS 250 protocol converter should be made while the power is switched OFF to both the printer and converter.

3.4.1 Connecting via Centronics output

Connecting the ida FS 250 to the printer is done by following these steps:

1.Check that the printer's parallel input port is available on printer.

2.Connect the cable supplied with the product between the printer's parallel input port and the protocol converter's PARALLEL OUT port.

3.Power on the printer and the ida FS 250.

4.Turn the address switch (on the rear panel) to the "T" position . A settings printout will be generated and the CU indicator will start flashing.

The interface can be set up in many ways. From the factory, the interface has been set up to cover most needs and uses. Appendix B.: "Test Printout" is a sample printout of settings and is just one way of setting up your interface.

Keep the settings printout you make together with this manual for future reference.

If the printout format does not match the test printout in Appendix B., or if nothing was printed, this means that the printer setup does not match the protocol converter setup. Contact your systems support personnel or your i-data dealer for assistance.

5.When the printout is in order, you proceed to the chapter: Connecting ida FS 250 to System.
